I've been wondering how many music services would
pop up that allow you to sell digital music and
it seems that now is the time.

I think one of the shortcomings of digital music
stores is that they have not set up a system that
enables the regular, super-independent artist to
sell his or her self-produced music. Indy, digital,
electronic-music stores such as Beatport and
Traxsource require that you have an entire
catalog of music (or that you are "signed")
before they will consider you. That policy
eliminates many artists trying to make it on
their own. I'm sure they will have those services
soon but in the meantime companies such as
Musicane are getting a jumpstart on cornering the
market.

I think I'll try out this service since it seems
decent. You can use the free "Lite" program with
ads, limited uploads and a 40% cut taken by
Musicane for any music you sell. If you
subscribe, you can offer a lot more but they
still take 30 percent
30 percent isn't a lot but it remains to be
seen whether or not using this service will
actually help you. I think it's good for the
musician who doesn't know much about the digital
world and who doesn't want to fiddle with too
much technology instead of creating. But for
someone who knows how to set-up their own site
for sales, and who knows how to market it, they might
be better off on their own.

But then again it might be better to have your
digital music in as many places as possible, to
increase your chances of making some money from
your hard work.
